Frank Ordoñez / The Post-StandardAdam Harris in his days with the Syracuse University football team.

Former Syracuse football fullback Adam Harris, whose Orange football career ended after he suffered a concussion in a game last season, is among the names entered in the upcoming NFL Supplemental Draft.

Harris was a transfer from Cornell who walked on to the team as a linebacker in 2009. He moved to fullback the next season and earned a starting job and a scholarship.

Harris suffered a concussion, his third, during a football game in November against Cincinnati. A few days later, the Syracuse football office issued this statement: “As a result of the injury on Saturday, a review of his concussion history and his increased vulnerability for further concussions, Harris will not be allowed to participate in football at Syracuse University.”

The end of football for Harris at SU did not mean the end of competition for him at the school, though. Harris joined SU's track and field team, competing in the shot put.

In May, Harris told reporter Dan Orlando of Sports World Report that he'd decided to get a second opinion, knowing that there was a "slim chance" he's be cleared to play football; Harris says that he got the green light to play again from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and a neurologist who works with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
